In terms of Gradle vs Buck models, is there any possibility of writing a tool that takes a Buck build file and produces Gradle files? That would seem like a good option in lieu of waiting for Buck support in IntelliJ and Eclipse. This isn't to say I have anything against Buck, it is

I have been in favor of Buck because that is what most contributors are already familiar with and can bring their expertise. It is already proved to work well with gwt. Also the compiler speed optimizations are done and experimented based on the architecture of Buck; especially new stuff that John

Direct IDE still has benefits. Anytime a change is made to the build file that requires regenerating the project, you run the risk of not preserving project settings by overwriting stuff that is stored in those files that is not part of the build, unless your generator has surgical capabiltiy

At Google our BUILD files are distributed throughout the source directories as we try to make them as simple as possible with as strict dependencies as possible. I'd love to have a Buck file that could compile gwt-dev/user/servlet, but it would be even better if there was one for each and every

I skimmed the Gradle manual and it looks pretty decent. While the syntax and terminology is different, it looks like the concepts map back to stuff I'm already comfortable with. It has tasks which are basically build rules which are configured via Groovy (instead of Python macros). The tool
